A note for parents
Children of Memory is a complex science fiction novel that explores themes of survival, observation, and unintended consequences across generations and species. While not graphically violent, it contains psychological tension, morally ambiguous situations, and mature themes about resource scarcity and existential threat that suit older teens rather than middle-grade readers. The narrative is reflective and thought-provoking, rewarding readers who can engage with philosophical questions about humanity and contact with alien life.

On Imir, Captain Holt founded a hopeful new colony on an empty world. But generations later, his descendants are struggling to survive. As harvests worsen and equipment fails, strangers appear in a town where everyone knows their neighbour. Now the community fears it's being observed - that they're not alone. And they'd be right. Explorers from the stars have come, in secret, to help. Confident of their superior technology, they begin to study their long-lost cousins from Earth. Yet the visitors aren't the only watchers. When the starfarers discover the scale of their mistake, it will be far too late to escape.
